Ford offered this unusual delivery truck which had a lower floor to accomodate tall
and heavy loads. The Type 225-A Drop-Floor Delivery, a variation of the Murray-built
130B Deluxe Delivery, was introduced in May 1931. Developed by Ford's Chicago branch
in response to customers requests, the rearmost portion of the Type 225-A's cargo floor
was modified so that it dropped down about 12" just behind the rear axle providing a
two-level cargo floor. This provided almost curb-height loading for heavy objects. The
extra-long cargo doors of the 225-A neccessitated the removal of the rear bumper and
in practice the vulnerable rear end was easily damaged.

This is one of the 17 built in 1930, with only 89 total ever built. Pictures exist
of a few 225-A's that were built using Briggs' Type 300-A Deluxe Panel which debuted
in 1931.
